Chapter 1. Another time, another wish…
A young girl with shinning rosy blond hair stood in front of her window looking out at the city that was full of life. They were all celebrating her, but she just couldn't enjoy it, not without him anyway. Everything and everyone was so nice, just like it always was, but something important was missing, something without she couldn't be happy. The worst part was that she couldn't even talk about it since nobody knew, nobody but the two of them.
It was a habit of hers to walk in the gardens at night, when she could enjoy the little freedom she had, when she could be herself and not the person everyone expected her to be. She knew that her parents made everything possible to make her life better, but she just couldn't forgive them for making everything public and assuming the position that they are in right now. The most it hurt that nobody was ever willing to talk about it, not her parents, her grandparents or any other member of her family. This subject was in-existent for them.
She knew that her friends were unhappy too. They were all raised in this perfect little world where all that counted were how you act, dress and speak. It didn't matter what you felt, if you didn't want to do something…
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even realize when another person approached her.
"Why are you sad?"
The girl swung around only to be confronted with the man who she was dreaming about all day and all night long. He had long black hair and shiny brown eyes and a body…well let's just say that he was a real man.
"I needed some peace and quiet." she answered coldly.
"Why do I have the feeling that you are upset?" the man approached and hugged her.
"Let me go." she wanted to fight him off, to not let him touch her anymore, but all she accomplished was to loose her footing and fall to the ground with him on top of her "Get off of me."
"Tell me." he demanded, but his eyes were pleading her not to push him away.
"What do you think?" She looked away not being able to look in to his eyes "You are using me." his grip on her lessened and he slowly pushed himself off of her and started to walk away.
"I thought you understood the situation, but now I see how wrong I was."
"Don't you dare say that." she answered looking up at the moon. "I understood that you considered that I was too young for a relationship and that you considered that we weren't supposed to be, but I thought that what happened a week ago proved to you that you were wrong."
"What happened that night was a mistake, it never should have happened. You are still a child."
"You consider it a mistake?" she asked almost in a whisper.
"I am sorry." he walked away leaving her sitting near the lake, shaking because of the un-shed tears."
She was brought back to Earth by the hand that was lying on her shoulder. Turning around she noticed, that her room was full of people. All the kids from her rather huge family were there. She spotted Chieko first, who was sitting at her desk with her little brother of 10 years, Hisoka next to her; she was a bluish black haired girl with dark blue eyes of 17 years old. Not far from her other three friends were standing: Akane, who was a girl with black hair and eyes, she had a couple of red stripes in her hair, which although seemed dyed they were natural. Next to her was Hoshi, with her chocolate brown hair and green eyes, the age of 17. And of course Aiko, the person who she is the closest to, with white blond hair and silvery gray eyes. The boys were standing on the other side of her room near the door, like they were ready to escape any moment. Daichi, Ryuu, Isamu and Kin were all handsome man already at their young age. Daichi was a 15 year old boy, with dark blond hair and deep blue eyes. The one standing next to him, was Ryuu who had honey blond hair and dark violet colored eyes. The third of the group was Isamu with his deep brown hair and eyes, while the last of the guys was Kin with his white hair and light blue eyes.
The only ones she couldn't seem to find were her sister Mizuki, brother Akio and Aiko's sister Kiyomi. They were the only ones missing from the group.
"Okay, that's it." Aiko said "Tell them, or I will."
"Tell us what?" Akane asked.
"It was your choice." Aiko told her friend when this one looked away "Our little miss sunshine here is in love with Seiya. They have a thing going on for quite some time now."
"What?" Rena, is that true?" a shocked voice asked from the doorway. At the door a tall black haired young man stood with ocean blue eyes. Next to him two girls were standing. One with the exact same hair and eye color as the man, named Mizuki and another girl who had golden blond hair and dark blue eyes named Kiyomi.
"Answer me." the man named Akio roared, but before anyone could say or do anything the room was filled with the screams coming from outside.
Looking out the window a horrific scene was presented to them. The people that were gathered in the center of the city, just outside the gates, were now scattered everywhere running to save their lives. They couldn't believe their eyes, the city was under some kind of attack. They also noticed that the Moon has also changed, it was always bright and white emitting a comforting light over everyone, but now it was gray, with red spots on it. At the outskirts of the city where a huge park was situated, three figures stood under the shade of the trees. It seemed they were the ones controlling the creatures, which were attacking the city.
"I never thought I will see something like this." Chieko slowly said "I remember the stories we were told, but…"
"You thought, that they were only that…stories." Rena interrupted the other girl. "This just proves that our parents lied to us from the beginning."
"I always thought that you were over reacting the situation, but now I can see that you were right" Akane voiced her opinion.
"I am scared." Hisoka's small voice cut through their thoughts.
"We need to get out of here and find everyone else." Akio took the charge and led everyone out of the room. He was walking in the front o the group making sure that they won't meet one of the things that were attacking outside. The rest of the guys were scattered all around the group making sure that they could protect the girls if anything attacked them. They walked through the halls until they arrived to the room they were all told to arrive in case of danger. It was the first thing they were told when they were big enough to understand what danger really meant.
Akio opened the door and ushered everyone inside. It was the first time that the room was so filled with life and the children were also present. The monitors from the walls were all shoving different parts of the world which the kids noticed with anger were also under attack.
The grownups that were in the room were all rushing around talking about defense mechanisms and battle plans. A big part of it the kids didn't even understand. Just what did they mean with the crystal anyways? They wanted to buy out the enemies' secret or pay them off? They didn't even notice that they were there until Rena approached her mother and asked the question which was on everyone's mind.
"What crystals are you talking about?"
"Oh…" the woman whirled around and looked at the group "You arrived. Please go and sit in the joining room. You will be safe there."
"What is going on? What are those things that are attacking the city?" Rena asked as she looked at the room her mother was talking about and afterwards turned back to the monitors.
"Not now, honey. We will talk later, when everything is back to normal."
"Why do you always leave us out of everything? Why can't you be honest with us?" Rena shouted "We have the right to know what is going on!"
"Watch your tongue, young lady. Do what I told you."
"I can't believe you!" Rena retorted and smiled as all her friends gathered around her to show the grownups that they agree with her and support her. "You didn't have any problems telling the world what you are…what we are, but you were never capable of telling us anything. I hate my life…the way everyone looks at me; it is your fault. I want the life you had. The life grandpa used to tell me about, where nobody knew who you were and you were free to live your life without any restrictions."
"That is enough!" a black haired man thundered from across the room "You have no idea what you are talking about, so…"
"I have no idea because you were never honest with me." She would have had so many things to tell her parents and the persons present in the room with her, but she froze when she saw the looks she was receiving not only from the grownups but also from her friends. They were looking at her like it was the first time they ever saw her. She knew that she was out of line by yelling at them like the way she was but it was time that someone actually told them what it was like to live in their shoes, how they felt trapped and how they all hated the life they had. She watched as her mother moved her hand in front of her heart and as tears slowly stated to flow down her cheek she begged her to stop and take back what she said.
"Rena, you are glowing." Aiko touched her arm and moved it in front of her so she could also see it.
"What?" She looked down at her body and realized with amazement that she was truly glowing, a bright silvery pink light engulfed her "What is going on?" she addressed her parents knowing fully well that they knew what was happening. When they only looked at each other like searching for an answer her anger boiled again. "I wish I could understand you. I wish I could get to know the persons grandpa was always telling me about and understand why you became the way you are right now." With every word she spoke the bright surrounding her became brighter until it engulfed her friends too.
The last thing they heard before they disappeared were the voices of their parents calling out their name.
"Setsuna, what is going on?" Usagi turned to her friend after the children disappeared.
"It seems she is truly your child." Setsuna shook her head before she disappeared "And like her mother she also likes to mess up the time line."
"Weren't we suppose to stop this from happening by not telling them the truth about their powers?" Minako questioned the silent room.
"Well that was the plan but instead of doing that we managed to send back a lot more kids then we did originally." Ami moved around to the controls.
"This shouldn't be happening." Makoto turned around to face the others "They shouldn't face what we did when we were their age."
"It will be worse for them." Rei said solemnly "We already knew how to control our power; they don't even know that they have such things. When Rena visited us for the first time she was only 10 and now she is already 18. We managed to change the future again, but at what cost? How come the black moon family is attacking again when we made sure that they won't be able to attack us in this future."
"I think they received some kind of help. The readings are different from the ones I got from the past. I think everything will be different this time around. We need to be very careful." Ami looked up from the control panel.
"I can't believe this." Usagi cried out in frustration "We saw how unhappy they were, those little girls who had to fight at that tender age. We wanted to save them from that and what did we manage to do?"
"Send them back to face an even greater danger since they don't know anything of their powers." Makoto added.
"And don't forget that they weren't exactly happy either." Rei added.
"Well, right now we cannot change anything from the past, but we sure as hell have a lot of things to do here." Nephrite said as he pointed out the window.
"60% of the creatures, together with their leaders traveled back to the past with the kids." Sailor Pluto said as she appeared in the middle of the room "Michiru and Haruka are caught up in America while Hotaru is busy in Europe. We have to handle this situation as soon as possible here and spread out to help them."
"Aren't you supposed to be in the past giving us the heads up about the new arrivals?" Mamoru asked eying the woman in front of him.
"Unfortunately, it won't be possible." Setsuna shook her head "Like I said before, you couldn't deny she was your daughter even if you wanted to."
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked already afraid of the answer.
"She blocked me. I cannot contact my past self and warn you."
"Great." Makoto looked around "We are going to have a hell of a surprise."
"That is not the worst part." Setsuna looked at Usagi then at the others "They went back to a different time frame, when Usagi still has amnesia."
"What?" Usagi shrieked "This can't be happening."
"Look at bright side." Mina intervened smirking "At least they will have their friends there so they can help them understand and use their powers."
At her words three mail groans could be heard from the room.
"Oh…Drop it already." Makoto said angrily "We have bigger problems right now. First we have to fight those things and afterwards we need to tell the others that our plan back fired against us. You know that Haruka never agreed to it."
